He poured the kerosene, lit the match, and created a firestorm. For several months, NFL legend Tom Brady has taunted the professional wrestling industry by calling the face of it, WWE, a “cute and scripted” promotion. Since that comment, the now Las Vegas Raiders owner is having fun with the rented space he’s taken up in most of WWE’s stars’ minds. Awaiting for his next revolution to be televised, with a possible shot at reclaiming the NXT Championship for a second time, Ricky Saints is just too busy to fret what some retiree from a very different sport has to say about his sport. But, he did throw out an interesting challenge should this NFL and WWE rivalry come head-to-head at WrestleMania 42.
“I find it to be type of funny, where you might have a bunch of egos, right, and so they clash with one other bunch of egos. After which, you get money involved, and also you get the bravado included. Me personally, I could not let you know who’s within the NFL if I desired to. That is playing actively,” Saints said on “Going Ringside.” “Why? Because I’m so locked in to my job, and my future, and my profession. That is why. Now, I’ll say this: if Drew Brees desires to get within the ring and go one-on-one with ‘ol Ricky Saints, I’m willing to take that. I’m willing to bring that on.”
To see a former Latest Orleans Saint go up against a born and raised Saint can be an exciting exhibition. But will Brees accept this challenge? Only time will tell. What is understood at the moment is that there are energetic negotiations still between WWE and Brady for the previous quarterback to look on “The Grandest Stage of Them All,” especially with rising tensions between himself and former WWE Men’s United States Champion, Logan Paul. But many others would love the chance to offer Brady the receipt he deserves, including Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, and The Bella Twins.
